About Tadeusz Lapinski

Lapinski received his Bachelors and Masters of Arts degrees from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland. While living in Warsaw he worked with the School of Graphic Arts, where he began experimenting with multiple lithographic plates and first began applying his famous rainbow technique. Already an established artist in Europe, he moved to New York in 1963 to join a growing movement of graphic artists in the United States. In 1972 he began teaching lithography and painting at the University to Maryland College Park campus, where he helped to not only promote the talent of his students but also the careers of his colleagues.
